Im using a wifi router.. linksys wrt54g. Its working just fine. Anyway..
pldt no longer gives out those authentication thingies.. i already asked
the guy who connected dsl here at home... He said that users no longer
need them as the modem is already pre-configured as a bridge. So they
dont know either. They just went here and connected the modem to our pc
restarted set it to dhcp then that was it. After which I setup my own
network here at home and i just set my linksys wifi router to dhcp as well.
yes the pldt dsl home package comes with a modem/router preconfigured as a bridge however you can change the configuration of the modem if say you want to do double NAT.
